MINNEAPOLIS -- As Reds outfield prospect Jesse Winker came off the field at the Futures Game at Target Field on Sunday, he noticed some activity on the field and saw the Celebrity Softball Game was starting.

So while the rest of his United States teammates were doing postgame interviews in the clubhouse, Winker was busy getting his picture taken with the likes of former Team USA softball star Jennie Finch, NFL stars Adrian Peterson and Larry Fitzgerald and rapper Fat Joe. He did, however, fail to get a picture of himself with January Jones of "Mad Men," which may have been the only mistake he made on the day.

"You've got to take pictures with Adrian Peterson and Larry Fitzgerald when you see them," Winker said. "I watch them in the fall. I didn't even know this was today, but once I saw them out there, I asked them to take a picture."
